Very depressing, but I really enjoyed it. Has one of the strangest, most disturbing endings ever. The poor husband ends up trapped in the depths of the Amazon jungle, forced to read Dickens to the man who rescued him, presumably until one of them dies.
If you like Evelyn Waugh, check out The Loved One. Easily one of my top five favourite books and a wee bit more light-hearted than A Handful of Dust.
